Maneuvers drops my defense?

[Stelaphina]

Before I equip maneuvers I am at almost 44% def, when maneuvers is equipped it drops to 20.55% anyone know why?

Evasive Maneuvers buff is probably dropping off when you activate Maneuvers.

So they can't both run at the same time...well dag, that was one of the powers I was using to get LotG in lol. Any other suggestions of what to take besides Maneuvers than?

You can take Fighting's Weave instead of Maneuvres, but at the cost of an extra power pick (kick or boxing) to access it.

I believe it drops EvMa only when your Maneuvers affects another target. So if you're solo you're probably fine. Keep in mind though, EvMa will lose its defense whenever you do anything other than Only Affect Self, so don't rely on it for its defense other than if you're trying to stealth a mission. Don't forget, you can also get the OAS power from P2W. So if you want to suppress your effects without detoggling, use that power.
